Join us for the Council’s March Luncheon Meeting!

The Agricultural Business Council of Kansas City is delighted to welcome U.S. Senator Jerry Moran and U.S. Representative Sharice Davids as our featured guests for the Council’s March 20 luncheon meeting at the K-State Olathe Campus.

Senator Jerry Moran has been a steadfast advocate for Kansas agriculture throughout his career, recognizing the industry's vital role in the state's economy and rural communities. As a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, he works to ensure robust funding for agricultural research, farm programs, and rural development initiatives. During his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, he played a key role in crafting and implementing multiple Farm Bills, helping to shape policies that support family farmers and ranchers. Senator Moran has consistently fought against burdensome regulations that threaten the viability of rural businesses and has championed policies that promote agricultural innovation, market access, and sustainability. His deep ties to Kansas agriculture and commitment to rural America continue to guide his work in Washington.

Representative Sharice Davids has actively engaged with agricultural issues in Kansas through her role on the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, which she joined in 2022 after Kansas' Third District was expanded to include more rural areas. In the 119th Congress, she was named Ranking Member of the General Farm Commodities, Risk Management, and Credit Subcommittee, where she focuses on policies affecting commodities such as wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as agricultural credit and risk management programs. Davids has conducted Farm Bill listening tours, visiting local farms like Bowlin Farms in Olathe, to gather input from Kansas farmers and agribusiness leaders on how federal policies can better support agriculture in the state. Her efforts have been recognized by the Kansas Farm Bureau, which endorsed her in 2024, highlighting her commitment to addressing the needs of the agricultural community.
